Port

Select this option to add a Port element to the border of the selected element.

Select this option to set the selected element as a Composite Element and create a new Composite Structure diagram (if none exists). If the selected element already contains a child diagram, the existing diagram will instead be referenced as the element's composite diagram.

Elements such as Actors, Classes and Activities can define a large amount of information that can be conveniently represented by or expanded in a child diagram; the Add sub-menu for these elements provides all of the options listed above

Elements such as Timing, Exit and History have much more specific functions that do not require expansion; the 'Add' sub-menu for these elements only provides the 'Create Link' option
